Subject: Open Source Developers needed in Brisbane
Hey,
Thanks for your time today, as I mentioned I am trying to find Open
Source Web Developers, hopefully with experience working with Django
framework, or something similar like Ruby on rails, basically someone
with experience working in a fast paced agile open source development
team :-)
The main things I'm looking for include:
software version control systems. Version control experience is
vitally important for any commercial environment.
Python, PHP or RUBY,
knowledge of the software development lifecycle and the testing that
takes place throughout. QA methods, besides testing, which are
commonly used to reduce or prevent bugs or defects.
commercial product-oriented websites; how to include Product Owners
and other stakeholders in the design, development and verification
process.
bug-tracking or ticketing systems; fitting in with the standard way of
allocating and managing work pipelines.
Understanding of what a Framework is and its basic functions, working
with any frameworks or similar constructs such as templating
utilities. Working with the building blocks of the web.
understanding of the MVC pattern, how it works and the benefits. Very
good understanding of Object Oriented Programming and structured
modular design. These are excellent and vital skills.
front-end languages (CSS, HTML, JavaScript). and back-end web
development experience.
basic SQL knowledge and basic Linux navigation knowledge. We don't
need a guru in these areas.
knowledge of Agile methods. All successful web operations today must
use at least some Agile methods to deliver sufficiently quickly. I
feel It could be a culture-shock for people to work in this fast-paced
environment.
how to make web applications scale to meet large traffic volumes. This
knowledge is vital.
knowledge of, or apparent interest in, Web 2.0. Since Web 2.0 is the
driving force behind our business we need people who know what it is
and are interested in it.
